Shauna Flannigan, Teacher of the Deaf, has achieved Level 6 in BSL. This accomplishment marks a significant milestone in her ongoing dedication to providing exceptional education and support to deaf children and young people.
Originally from Derby, Shauna now lives in Selby, North Yorkshire, she has been a part of the Doncaster School for the Deaf team for the past five years and is instrumental in teaching art and photography, bringing creativity and innovation to her classes.
